Mickey Dean, a native of the Central Shenandoah Valley, is in his second year as head coach of the JMU softball program.
In his first year of work, Dean guided the Dukes to great heights by helping the team win a school-record 42 games and collect its first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. JMU went 42-17 in 2013 and 18-3 to finish second in the CAA. They advanced to the Knoxville Regional of the NCAA tournament and picked up the program's first-ever NCAA tournament win with a 5-0 defeat of Longwood.
Individually, JMU did incredibly well in Dean's first year of work as the team raked in conference, state and regional award. Dean was voted the VaSID State Coach of the Year while first-year pitcher Jailyn Ford collected CAA and VaSID Rookie of the Year awards. She became the second player in school history to be named the Virginia Pitcher of the Year while Sarah Mooney became the third JMU player to be named the CAA Player of the Year. Mooney and Ford were two of four players to be named NFCA All-Region honors as they were joined by outfielder Jasmine Butelr and pitcher Heather Kiefer. Ford was also selected to play on the USA Softball Junior National Team where she won silver at the ISF Junior World Championships.
In total, JMU boasted the CAA Player and Rookie of the Year, seven All-CAA selections and two All-Rookie selections.
"It is no doubt great to return home, and I want to thank Athletics Director Jeff Bourne and Associate Athletics Director Kevin White for this opportunity," Dean said. "As I stated to both, I believe the future of this program is limitless. With the combination of our history of academic excellence and state-of-the-art facilities, JMU softball can become a nationally recognized program competing for championships at the highest level."
His Radford players accounted for 15 Big South annual awards, 14 All-Region honors, 37 All-Conference laurels and 32 All-State recognitions. Radford also had the program's first All-America selection this past season.
Dean attended nearby Spotswood High School, where he was a multi-sport athlete. He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in public administration and a minor in business administration from Elon University in 1987.

Baggböle, Sweden, 2010 | This was taken inside a Saab. The photo was included at the exhibition Cyan Stipendutstilling 2011 in Oslo. Look from outside.
Love these old cars. I can still remember the smell of the inside upholstery from when I was a child…
Thanks for commenting!
I'm glad you mentioned the smell, because that's something I've noticed with old cars as well. Whenever I get to ride with that Saab and feel the smell I can instantly remember those days when we travelled around in north of Sweden last year. Sweet memories.

As they cast the 216th vote last night, Nancy Pelosi and her minions also smashed Mitt Romney's presidential ambitions. There is literally no substantial difference between Obamacare and Romneycare.

Summary of House Summary of House Reviews for House An Excerpt from House
The author of The Soul of a Chef turns the story of a single house into a microcosm of America's love affair with the idea of home
An acclaimed journalist who has written about everything from chefs to pediatric surgeons now turns his attention to the subject of home. In 2001 Michael and Donna Ruhlman purchased a 100-year-old house in suburban Cleveland. Then they set about making it their own. In relating this storywhose details he invests with novelistic dramaRuhlman moves readers to consider what home means in a nation of vagabonds: why Americans long for a home of their own even as they feel compelled to move on. Here, too, is a deft unraveling of the relationship between a physical structure and the family life that transpires inside it. Thoughtful, elegant, and provocative, House is a must for prospective homebuyers and lovers of bravura journalism.
[Ruhlman] has a wonderful sense of narrative and pace. . . . An amazing visual and aural memory.

Lecture by Kaushik Sunder Rajan, UC-Irvine
Monday, May 07, 200712:00 PM - 2:00 PM10383 Bunche HallLos Angeles, CA 90095
The global outsourcing of randomized clinical trials for drug development has increased dramatically over the past decade. In the last two years, India has emerged as potentially one of the most attractive destinations for these trials. In this paper, Kaushik Sunder Rajan traces this dynamic at three scales:
i. The global political economy of drug development (driven by forms of biocapital) that structures these movements;ii. The clinical trials landscape in India, especially in terms of the massive capacity building currently underway to attract these trials; andiii. The local contexts and histories within which the conduct of these trials in particular places must be understood.
In the process, the speaker wishes to think through how global political economies and local historical contexts interact; but also wish to consider how biocapital articulates with other systems and regimes of capital at multiple scales.
Kaushik Sunder Rajan is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UC-Irvine. He was initially trained as a biologist, obtained his Ph.D. in the History and Social Studies of Science and Technology, and works on the anthropology of science and technology.
His recent book titled Biocapital: The Constitution of Post-Genomic Life (2006) is a multi-sited ethnography of emergent genomic research and drug development marketplaces in the United States and India. On the other hand, it traces the historical emergence of what he calls biocapital in the late 20th century, which asks questions of the nature and manner of the co-production of economic and epistemic value in the life sciences today. In the former register, Sunder Rajan's work has followed a number of actors - scientists, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and policymakers - involved in genomics research and market development in a range of sites in the US and India (in the US, primarily in the Bay Area; in India, primarily in Delhi, Bombay and Hyderabad). In the latter register, his work engages social theories of epistemology, political economy, ethics, subjectivity, language and value (most directly the analyses of Karl Marx, Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida), in order to provide ways to think about a current moment in world history that is significantly shaped by technoscientific capitalism.

Carrera Glasses
The Story
The company made a name for itself in the 1950's; it was recognised for developing sports eyewear such as glasses and goggles, and even helmets. In the 1980's the company launched their first models of prescription eyewear; this was a huge success as sportsmen were able to select a brand they trust in terms of quality, safety and functionality. Today, Carrera is a synonym of technology, safety, innovation and design.
The Company's Philosophy
The brand's philosophy is built upon their motto 'After all, No regrets'. The brand believes that as humans, we should live our lives to the fullest; do all the things we want to do without hesitation. The dynamic personality of the brand is well reflected in their eyewear but also, well reflected in their manifestos. The campaigns looked at young, fun-loving individuals who live for the moment, always accompanied by their Carrera eyewear.
Eyewear Collection
Carrera glasses are modern, bold, yet still keeping in touch with its classic, sport-inspired roots. Some of the optical models are unisex which means they can cater to men's and women's needs. The models are easy to wear and most will suit all face shapes so you don't need to worry about the little things. In the brand's collection, the Champion range is the most popular by far. Lead singer of Gym Class Heroes, Travie McCoy is seen wearing his Champion sunglasses in his latest music video.
Optyl Plastic
Optyl plastic is different from ordinary thermoplastic i.e. acetate. It is 20% lighter and more resilient than acetate or other standard plastic materials used in eyewear production. The surface has a really smooth surface finish. A special coating is also applied to the Optyl plastic which helps it to repel sweat and cosmetic products from sticking onto the frames. Plastic is also a non-allergenic material which means it doesn't react with the skin's chemical balance.

Healing Our Deepest Wounds: The Holotropic Paradigm Shift
Dr. Grof's newest book was published on July 1, 2012, his 81st birthday, as his present to the world. This book is an unprecedented consolidation and focusing of Stan's lifetime work in consciousness research and the application of that work to the individual and collective healing we so desperately need. (276 Pages, 80 black and white pictures.)
"After more than fifty years of intensive
study of holotropic states of consciousness, I have come to the conclusion
that the theoretical concepts and practical approaches developed by
transpersonal psychology, a discipline that is trying to integrate
spirituality with the new paradigm emerging in Western science, could help
alleviate the crisis we are all facing. These observations suggest that
radical psychospiritual transformation of humanity is not only possible, but
is already underway.The question is only whether it can be sufficiently fast
and extensive to reverse the current self-destructive trend of modern
humanity." - p. 163
Stan Grof, M.D., Ph.D. is a psychiatrist with more than fifty years experience researching the healing and transformative potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. His groundbreaking theories influenced the integration of Western science with his brilliant mapping of the transpersonal dimension. On October 5, 2007 Dr. Grof received the prestigious VISION 97 award granted by the Foundation of Dagmar and Vaclav Havel in Prague.
He is one of the founders and chief theoreticians of Transpersonal Psychology and received an Honorary Award for major contributions to and development of the field of Transpersonal Psychology from the Association for Transpersonal Psychology in 1993.
Dr. Grof is also the founding President of the International Transpersonal Association (ITA) and was its President for many years. He has organized large international conferences throughout the world and continues to lecture and teach professional training programs in Holotropic Breathwork and transpersonal psychology.
Currently, Dr. Grof is Professor of Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in the Department of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness in San Francisco, CA, and at Wisdom University in Oakland, CA.
Dr. Grof was born in 1931 in Prague where he received an M.D. from Charles University and a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy in Medicine) from the Czechoslovakian Academy of Sciences. Between 1960 and 1967, he was Principal Investigator in a psychedelic research program at the Psychiatric Research Institute in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
In the United States, Dr. Grof served as Chief of Psychiatric Research at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD. He was also Scholar-in-Residence at Esalen Institute.
Dr. Grof's extensive research includes experiential psychotherapy using psychedelics and non-drug techniques, especially the holotropic breathwork (a method he developed with his wife Christina), alternative approaches to psychoses, understanding and treatment of psychospiritual crises ("spiritual emergencies"), the implications of recent developments in quantum-relativistic physics, biology, brain research, and other avenues of the emerging scientific paradigm, for psychiatric theory and consciousness studies.
Among his publications are over 150 papers in professional journals and many books including Beyond the Brain, LSD Psychotherapy, Psychology of the Future, The Cosmic Game, and the newly-released When the Impossible Happens and The Ultimate Journey, as well as many more.
Western science is approaching a paradigm shift
of unprecedented proportions, one that will change our concepts of reality and
of human nature, bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science, and
reconcile the differences between Eastern spirituality and Western pragmatism.
- Stan Grof from Beyond the Brain
New! Lillibit's Dream by Melody Sullivan. Illustrated by Stanislav Grof
"I want to FLY!" Lillibit, the caterpillar, declares. But how will she fly? After all, she is not yet a butterfly, and the other caterpillars don't believe she can do it. "Lillibit wiggled and squiggled. She jerked and jiggled. But still nothing happened." In fact, it will take something greater than her best efforts to fly. It will take her letting go of everything she knows. For only within the mystical brew of metamorphosis will she leave her old life behind and begin a new one.
Certain to appeal to children and adults alike, Lillibit's Dream takes readers on a heartfelt journey of big dreams, profound changes, and the gifts of acceptance, patience and faith. With easy, engaging language and charming, vibrant illustrations, author Melody Sullivan and illustrator Stanislav Grof deliver a beautiful analogy for life's transitions and the miracles of personal transformation.

Green milkweed is a perennial from a vertical rootstock. Two foot tall stems are mostly solitary or in pairs and bear are opposite leaves up to four inches long. Leaves are variable in shape with plants from dry sites having long narrow leaves and those from moist sites having round leaves. 20-80 pale green flowers occur in two inch clusters in upper leaf axils. The pods of green milkweed are about four inches long and pointed at both ends. The pods lack the warts or tubercles found on other common milkweeds.
The specific epithet viridiflora means green-flowered in botanical Latin. Milkweed flowers have a special mechanism to trap insect legs and cause pollen masses to be pulled from the plant.

Property crime increase may prompt changes at San Antonio Police Department
SAPD: No changes officially on table, sources say discussions ongoing
San Antonio recorded 80,868 property crimes in 2011, according to the latest crime statistics released by the FBI.
That ranks the Alamo City among the country's worst largest city, nearly double Austin's rate, and more than 20,000 more than Dallas.
It's a problem that's been acknowledged by the police department and they have said they'll work to fix it.
But a proposal first introduced early last year has some detectives in the property crimes division nervous.
The plan would be to centralize the entire unit into the department's building on Academic Court.
That would mean removing approximately 60 or so officers from their stations at one of six substations around the city.
It's a tactic already used for the department's robbery task force, to good results.
But detectives who requested anonymity for this story said robbery is a different kind of crime.
"In order to solve a string of home burglaries, you really need to have a feel for the neighborhood you're working in," said one detective. "That can't happen if you're working 25 miles away."
SAPD responded to the claim with the following statement from Chief William McManus: "There are no plans at this time to centralize our property crimes section. As we continually evaluate and look for ways to improve, we routinely explore different strategies and tactics to deal with crime. However, no decisions have been made for any changes."
San Antonio Police Officer Association President Michael Helle said he knew of no specific plans, but said the department was actively working to try and reduce the property crime issue.
"There is a committee being headed by Assistant Chief Geraldine Garcia where she is listening to all parties to try and figure out how the property crimes division can best work for the community," said Helle.
Garcia has a personal interest in the unit's success. In addition to her professional duty, her home was burglarized recently while at work. Detectives did make an arrest in her case.
No time-frame for any changes to be implemented in the department was given.

Join fellow movie lovers at Crowfoot library on Thursday March 20th at 6:30. This month we will be showing the new to DVD release THOR: The Dark World. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, and Tom Hiddleston. It is directed by Alan Taylor who up until now has mostly directed television series, but ones with good credentials like Mad Men, Nurse Jackie and Game of Thrones. They must think he can manage the job because he's also at the helm of Terminator: Genesis, due for release in 2015.
Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some minor suggestive content. Action-packed, cool looking bad guys, good CGI, tons of other-worldly gizmos and Tom Hiddleston once again stealing the show as Loki.
No registration required and doors open at 6:00. Do what our regulars do---stop for a slurpee on the way in, bring a bag of popcorn and beat the holds list which curently stands at around 500 plus!
See you on the 20th..............................
I do love anything to do with the bending of the space time continuum- even if it doesn't always make sense and often leaves me scratching my head. And the really bad ones have been known to leave me yelling at my tv that just wouldn't work!!! In fact I enjoy them so much I've devoted entire posts to just such movies.
Now fellow movie maniac Mat introduced me to this little gem from Spain---Los cronocrimenes---Timecrimes, and I must say it lived up to everything he said about it. Done without a bunch of CGI that leaves you looking for a quiet place to rest your eyes, this movie is lean, even sparse. No fancy sets, no high profile actors, just a nice tight sci-fi thriller. You aren't here to watch the special effects, you are here to try to figure out what happened and more importantly, could it work.
It won't be everyone's cup of tea but it sure worked for me. Even with English sub-titles.
Like a lot of rabid fans I am counting the days to the release of Prometheus on June 8th. This is Ridley Scott's—SIR Ridley's that is—highly anticipated latest movie and it looks epic. It may or may not be a prequel to his iconic film Alien---they---as in the actors, the Studio, and almost anyone associated with it are playing it pretty close to the chest. Alien was the first instalment of the Aliens quadrilogy and the movie that launched Sigourney Weaver's career, made kick butt heroines acceptable, and upped the ante for filmmakers for years to come.
Scott got his start 35 years ago working as a high powered ad-man. He then tried his hand at movies and had just finished making a feature film called The Duellist (actually pretty good) that hardly anybody saw because they were all lined up to go see another new release – Star Wars. Scott's next release was to be a retelling of Tristan and Isolde, but after he himself saw Star Wars, he is quoted as saying "this changes everything – it's time to get down to business".
6 weeks later he signed on to direct Alien—he was actually 20th Century Fox's fifth choice. With its wonderful tag line 'in space no one can hear you scream' it was a phenomenal success. The franchise had a total run of 4, with the first sequel, Aliens (directed by another developing heavy weight – James Cameron) being even slightly better than the original. Unfortunately 3 and 4 ran out of steam. Out of all his movies since, Scott says that Alien is the one that has called to him over the years as unfinished business.
He has had a hugely successful career and any movie with him at the helm is an event. Here are some of his titles which are available at CPL: Thelma and Louise; Gladiator; Kingdom of Heaven; Robin Hood; Body of Lies; American Gangster; Blade Runner.
Prometheus features an excellent cast including Michael Fassbender (X-Men First Class); Noomi Rapace (Dragon Tattoo trilogy – original Swedish version); Charlize Theron – currently having quite a resurgence in her career with another big draw having just opened – Snow White and the Huntsman (here's the trailer). Check out this excellent teen zone post from earlier; Idris Alba (Luther) and Guy Pearce (Mildred Pierce).
Next on Scott's plate – a prequel --- or maybe a sequel --- again, he is not saying, to his other cult classic—Blade Runner.
I had the pleasure of attending the Comic Expo held April 27-29 at the BMO Centre as a representative at the library booth. The Event was a huge success with an estimated attendance at the three day event in the 45,000 + range. At one point on Saturday afternoon Calgary's Fire Marshall actually closed the event to further entry as maximum saturation had been reached. And boy was it saturated.
The crowds were amazing, the costumes dazzling, and the atmosphere electric.
We engaged with hundreds of people and once again I am struck with how responsive people are to public libraries and their presence at such events. I talked to people from Fredericton, Houston, Los Angeles, Wyoming, a lot from Vancouver and Edmonton and one lady who had travelled all the way from Pool, England to see James Marsters- and who can blame her. She is a librarian and was thrilled to hear that libraries are alive and well in Calgary as she herself had recently been made redundant as a "soft target" of England's budget cuts.
I asked dozens of attendees to pose for pictures in front of our "EVERYTHING YOU'RE INTO" banner, and without exception, everyone agreed. They loved the banner and thought it really spoke to their own wide variety of interests.
If there was ever an event that more readily embraces the diversity of people's interests, I have yet to find it. Steam Punk, Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Anime, Graphix, Gothic, cartoonists, animators, illustrators, self-publishers, all very enthusiastic and ready to share what Public Libraries mean to them. There was one very charming young lady, Melissa, who along with her entire family had a wildly successful, heavily-attended 'Steam Punk' booth. She had an amazing hand-made costume and I asked if she would be willing to come over and let me take her picture in front of our banner. She did, stayed for around 10 minutes, drew a huge crowd, and proclaimed "Reading is Sexy, Libraries are wonderful, Support your local library." She makes costumes, jewelry, accessories and specializes in the most amazing steam punk goggles, monocles, field glasses etc-- she does her research at her local library -- and yes, I bought a pair- I LOVE the steam punk look.
Freddy Kruger, Q , Skeletor, Wolverine (old and new versions), an entire family of Superman[s], Lady Galadriel, Orcs from the White Tower, The Fly, Rorschach, Darth Maul, Spider-Man, Red Skull, The Mad Hatter, Star Trek, and Steam Punk galore --- all happy to stop and pose with our banner. One of the people who I asked to pose, Red Skull, was on his way to the judging for best costume, but agreed to take the time for a picture with us. He went on to become one of the finalists. What an amazing costume! Thanks Skull. Freddy K, who I have always found to have one of the most disturbing faces ever, took a little bit of the edge off for me when he said "Who doesn't like libraries!" My Darth Maul guy actually physically implanted his horns; that's an amazing degree of committment...
And if you are wondering if I sprung for my own big photoshoot with the entire Star Trek- Next Generation cast- the answer is--- sadly not. At $495.00 it was a little too rich for my blood.
Thanks to guest blogger Alex who does another tremendous job stringing a '6 degrees post' together.
I was wondering how I could possibly write a post about "Real Steel" without losing the respect of every Movie Maniac out there… I mean, really? Hugh Jackman as an ex-UFC fighter and gambling addict, whose estranged 10-year-old son helps him revamp an old robot and enter the popular Automaton Boxing competitions of the not-so-distant future? It's ridiculous! It's juvenile! It panders to an audience that revels in video games and violence and not much else!
And… it's AWESOME. I'm serious. This movie was fun, visually compelling, the plot followed a perfect (if predictable) arc, the acting was fine, the soundtrack was catchy… I even think I cried a little!
And let's be honest. You could put Hugh Jackman in a poncho, wrestling tights, and a Ronald MacDonald wig, and the man would still be worth the price of admission.
So starting with Hugh Jackman in "Real Steel" and a 2ndgeneration sparring-Bot named "Atom" let's use Robots as our common denominator and see how this 6 degrees rolls out.
"I, Robot" is RIFE with Androids trying to take over the world, but we like Sonny, the main one. It stars Will Smith (another perfect human specimen), but, much better for my purposes, Shia LaBeouf has a bit part as a character named Farber.
LaBeouf, is, of course, the headliner for the hugely popular (though-no-one-knows-why) "Transformers" series, which stars more robots than it does humans. See him here with Optimus Prime.
The 2005 revamp of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" had a star-studded cast, least of which were the robots. Of the human actors, the brilliant Bill Nighy appears as Slartibartfast. (I had to sneak Marvin in the background there... but there are still TONS of robots in this movie...)
Now… here's my only bridge that doesn't include Bots… and I'd label it cheating if it wasn't such an awesome movie. Bill Nighy and Kate Beckinsale star in "Underworld", a kick-butt romp through the age-old Lycan vs. Vamp family feud. (There's a lot of technology in this movie... that counts, right?)
Kate Beckinsale, who was a Vampire in "Underworld", turns Vamp HUNTER in "Van Helsing", which brings us back to Beefcake Hugh Jackman, AND an especially robotic monster of Frankenstein.
Not quite making the cut are some of my fave Artificial Intelligence movies, where the robot is played by an actor (and not just say, voiced by one), and therefore doesn't count as a robot. You could say the same for Shuler Hensley in "Van Helsing", but there was a LOT of CG in that one.
A.I.- from 2001 and directed by Steven Spielberg, with the talented young Haley Joel Osmont and Jude Law.
Bicentennial Man- like "I,Robot", this is based on an Issac Asimov story and features Robin Williams in the tin suit.
Star Trek- I had to check with MM Moe because I am not the Trekkie that she is---she says while S.T. has a proliferation of robots, androids, cyborgs, and automotons, her own personal faves are any episodes that have The Borgs: 'the scourge of the Alpha and Delta quadrants and the cybernetically-enhanced humanoids that everybody loves to hate' (yeah- she actually said that!). In fact she is such a fan she has previously given Star Trek it's own featured spot (actually more than one!).
Several of these films have been previously recommended under a variety of different posts. We humans do love our machines---anything that makes our lives easier, happier, less tedious. Things can look so good on the surface, but of course it is often just a facade to hide the underlying dystopia. And in a couple of the films there is no facade. The dystopia is real and the machines are in charge. I know I'm not an android---how about you.............
2001- A Space Odyssey- people tend to find this movie brilliant and prophetic or completley inscrutable. Either way, there is no denying that HAL was a great villian.
Blade Runner- Ridley Scott's classic from 1982. Harrison Ford has to track down and terminate 4 replicants who hijack a ship in space and return to earth seeking their maker.
Day the earth stood still- watch the far superior original with Michael Rennie. It should be perfect casting to have Keanu Reeves as the flat and emotionless Klatu in the remake, but alas, Reeves can't even pull this off.
Metropolis- Fritz Lang's classic silent movie- this should be on everybodies must see list.
I Robot- with Will Smith. Pretty decent flick---part science fiction, part murder mystery.
Westworld- Mel reviewed this one previously in one of her western posts. This was hugely popular when it came out in 73 and still stands up well.
Stark Trek First Contact- oh how I love to hate the Borgs- to my mind the best alien/villian/cyborg ever.
Iron Giant- this is one for the whole family, even the little ones. It is a wonderful cautionary tale told without beating us over the head with the message. And speaking of the whole family, you must see Wall-E. Neither one of these are in any way scary-just delightful.
Logan's Run-not a lot of robots in this, but certainly a lot of dystopia.
Transformers- loud, fast and too much going on at any given moment, this one is for either die hard fans of the series or die hard fans of Michael Bay. We also have the complete first season- animated.
No such post would be complete without The Matrix trilogy (1 2 3 ) and Terminator (1 2 3 4 ). Some are great, some our merely adequate, and some are bad. Yes, I am talking about you Terminator Salvation.
by Moe
Okay I know, I know---this is a cheesy title but it was just too much fun to resist. So lets take a look at end of the world movies and see if they can give us ideas on how fast we need to run, how long we have to tread water, what SPF sunscreen we need to use---or any other hints on how to survive when IT (whatever IT is) happens. Maniaical birds, the sun behaving badly, alien intervention, plagues, ecological disaster, war, using the planet as a giant garbage dump- just a few of the scenarios these movies address.
The Birds from Hitchcock---end of the world you ask? Well yes, actually. Without giving away any more than the title already does, these birds are quietly scary. Watch for the scene with the crows at the playground--- it is amazing.
Knowing---I can run hot and cold on Nic Cage, but this is one of his better. See Mels earlier post Nicolas Cage Reconsidered for more Nic. Watch this movie then ask yourself- if it were you, would you rather know or not?
12 Monkeys---also a repeat recommendation---from the Space-Time Continuum post. Only at the time of that post, we didn't yet have it at CPL. Now it is on order and I am delighted---I love this movie. Bruce Willis is very good and this is my favorite Brad Pitt role---one for which he got a nod from Oscar, but not a win (Kevin Spacey took it that year for the Usual Suspects). I think it should have gone to Brad.
The Day the Earth Stood Still--- the original from 1961. Although we also have the 2008 remake with Keanu Reeves, the Michael Renee is far superior.
2012- the complete and utter destruction of absolutely everything! Impressive, if not always believable F/X.
Sunshine---from director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slum-Dog Millionaire). This should appeal to real hard core science fiction fans. And brainiacs- the film's science adviser was a particle physicist from CERN (Conseil Europeen Pour le Recherche Nucleaire [European Laboratory for Particle Physics]). He probably knows what he's talking about. I liked it a lot, even if I didn't understand all the science!
Of course there is always Schwarzengger's Terminator series (we have all 4---I only like 1 & 2), Gibson's Mad Max (dystopia populated by humanganoids), and Will Smith in I am Legend (very good).
And just to lighten things up a whole lot, try Wall-E from Disney. And invite the kids to join you- and also for the original Day the Earth Stood Still, but none of the others.
When I wrote the post for Space Time Continuum I recommended a Science Fiction collection put together by Turner Classic Movies. They feature four movies each and CPL has several other of these thematic based sets. There's lots of good viewing here, with the Murder Mysteries, Sci Fi and Horror compilations being particularly strong. So if you aren't watching the Olympics, or just need a bit of a break from all that reality, grab one of these and away you go.
Sc Fi: Soylent Green, Forbidden Planet, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Time Machine
Horror: House of Wax, The Haunting, Freaks, Dr. Jeckll and Mr. Hyde
Murder Mysteries: Maltese Falcon, Big Sleep, Dial M for Murder, Postman Always Rings Twice
Best Picture: Casablanca, Mrs. Miniver, Gigi, American in Paris
Wsterns: Wild Bunch, McCabe and Mrs Miller, Jeremiah Johnson, Train Robbers
Broadway Musicals: Show Boat, Annie Get Your Gun, Kiss me Kate, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
American Musicals: Band Wagon, Meet me in St. Louis, Singin' in the Rain,Easter Parade
Just in case you aren't in the habit of regularly searching our catalogue to see what's new, this is to let you know that CPL now has the entire Star Trek collection. This includes Star Trek: the Original Series (1966-69), The Next Generation (1987-94), Deep Space Nine (1993-99), Voyager (1995-2001), and Enterprise (2001-2005). We also have all 10 of the feature length films that have been released to date---being Star Trek the Motion Picture (79), Wrath of Khan (82), The Search for Spock (84), The Voyage Home (86), The Final Frontier (89), The Undiscovered Country (91), Generations (94), First Contact (96), Insurrection (98), and Nemesis (2002).
If you are a die hard fan you may be eager to rewatch them all, although to do so you will have to set aside an astonishing 716 hours for just the series (by my calcualations this Trekkie has logged 1.3 years of her life watching Trek!!). If you are new to the whole Star Trek phenom due to the recent theatrical release, I'd suggest any of TOS (the Original series), TNG (The Next generation) and Voyager. For the feature length films go with Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, First Contact (how I love to hate those Borgs! ) and Nemesis.
Star Trek is one of the most successful franchises ever, and is a multi billion dollar industry. In addition to the various series running from 1966 to 2005, and movie productions from 1979 up, there are also books, games, comics, cartoons, fan clubs, conventions and websites galore. In May of this year the latest movie was released (actually a prequel)- one of its tag lines is 'this is not your father's Star Trek'. They hoped it would appeal not just to its old fan base, but to a new generation, and it has done a great job. It has proved the most financially successful Star Trek release to date, and will bring in a gazillion more once the movie hits DVD (date unknown at the time of this post). There are two more sequels planned with this new cast and as someone who cut her teeth on the franchise, I can't wait! Keep an eye on the catalogue so you can get your hold placed for this one- the demand will be out of this world!!
Ah that quirky old conundrum---if I could time travel back and change an event in the past, would it alter the present enough that I am now not able to go back and change that event in the past? In other words, can I be my own grandmother? A common movie theme for decades (even the 3 Stooges had a time travel episode), there are almost too many to mention but here are some of my favorites. All you have to do is suspend disbelief, and go along for the ride---and if it starts to break apart plot-wise, remember, this isn't an astrophysics lesson- this is just fun.
Deja Vu from 2006 with Denzel Washington. What starts out seemingly as a murder investigation quickly becomes so much more. I quite enjoyed this, even though visually I occassionally got overloaded with everything happening on the screen.
Final Countdown A modern aircraft carrier is thrown back in time to 1941 near Hawaii, just hours before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. From 1980 with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen.
Groundhog Day " He's having the worst day of his life... over, and over." Bill Murray stars is this 1993 offering from Harold Ramis. Lots of good goofy fun- watch this one with the whole family.
Back to the Future 1-2-3. Anybody out there who hasn't seen at least the first installment? Grab the 3-pack and go everywhere with Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd---the past, the present and of course, back to the future. Number one is my fave.
Somewhere in Time-1980. So far we've had tragedy and comedy, so how about weep into your hankies sad? With Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour and Christopher Plummer. This is lovely to look at---a quiet, gentle movie that tells a sweet, sad story. It has a wonderful instrumental sound track featuring the haunting 'Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini'.
Kate and Leopold---time travel is often used to bring star crossed lovers together, as in this offering from 2001. Starring the ever adorable Meg Ryan and the ever hunky Hugh Jackman. No serious plot twists to follow here- just a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.
For the serious Sci-fi devotee who likes to see all the loose ends tied up (as if that is possible in time travel), we have all 1-2-3-4 of the Terminator series, wherein Arnie utters those famous three words "I'll be back". The first two are directed by James Cameron of Titanic and Avatar fame. Violent, gory, and bleak, they still manage to be fun !??. A Cameron trademark , they showcase some pretty ground breaking CGI's. One is good, two is better, three is just okay, and four features our favorite maggot eating, yo-yo dieting uber-intense method actor, Christian Bale.
We have two very different interpretations of H G Wells' classic tale The Time Machine---the 1960 version with Rod Taylor and the 2002 with Guy Pearce. My money is on the Rod Taylor version---which as a child scared the milk and cookies out of me! Although hokey monsters by today's standards, I rewatched this within the past month, and am happy to report it still has a lot of appeal. This version is on a Turner Classic Movies sci-fi compilation that also includes Solyent Green (Charlton Heston), Forbidden Planet (Leslie Nielsen), and 2001: A Space Odyssey, which depending on your way of thinking is either deeply profound or highly inscrutable. It is considered by many to be the ultimate space-time movie.
Of course, almost any sci-fi series will heavily feature the space-time continuum as a recurring theme. Star Trek did it often and did it well, as in the latest release, Star Trek. Also check out Star Trek fan collective:time travel which pulls all the best of this theme from across all the series into one 4 disc (644) min) set.
Two previously reviewed space-time movies arePeggy Sue got Married and Next (see Mel's earlier post by clicking on Nicholas Cage found on left hand side of screen under TAGS).
Check out 1995's 12 Monkeys. This is a very good time travel movie with Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. Again, depressing and dark, but it has my favorite performances by both these actors. Brad Pitt in particular is excellent playing a crazy eco-warrior.
Well---these 20 plus recommendations took up a lot of space---I just hope you can find the time!

Garcia Tabbed with First Team All-SoCon Honors; Aponte Voted to Second Team
Spartanburg, S.C. – Junior midfielders Mariana Garcia and Vanessa Aponte were voted to the 2012 All-SoCon first and second teams, respectively, by the league's head coaches, the conference office announced on Tuesday.
Garcia had an historic season for the Bulldogs in 2012 as the Bogota, Colombia, native broke school career records in goals (31), points (67) and shots on goal (100). Garcia closed out her junior campaign tied for 12th in the NCAA with 14 goals and tied for 34th with 28 points.
Garcia has collected multiple awards during her three seasons at The Citadel. In 2010, she received Freshman and Southern Conference Player of the Year honors. A season ago Garcia was named second team all-conference.
Aponte's name has also been etched into The Citadel record book as the junior captain sits in first place all-time for career assists (12) and shots (204). In her three seasons, the Orlando, Fla., native has broken season records for assists with seven in 2012 and shots with 83 in 2011.
During her freshman season, Aponte was named to the 2010 SoCon all-tournament team when she helped lead the Bulldogs to their first conference tournament appearance and win. That same season she was also selected to the all-freshman team. In 2011, Aponte was tabbed with first team all-conference honors.
Jannel Johnson was selected to the conference's all-freshman team as the Pembroke Pines, Fla., native collected five goals and 13 points on the season. Johnson also posted 67 shots, which is the fourth most recorded in a season in Bulldog history.

Loved the friendly staff, went for a spa party with my girlfriends for a bachelorette bash and everyone had such a great time. They allowed us to use the waiting room to set up our food and wine so that we could socialize in between services. I HIGHLY recommend Seasons! Will be back for many more ladies spa days and even just to go by myself to relax!!
Seasons is a teaching salon and encourages it's stylists to assist one another to provide the best service possible, no haircut is considered simple but a canvas for a personal expression of art.........
It's alarming when you get a master stylist and she has to stop in the middle of a SIMPLE haircut on you to ask another ("Advanced" master stylist) how to cut your hair on a SIMPLE CUT. enough said.
MAJOR RIP OFF! – I have been going to Seasons for a few years now and had a variety of experiences, most of which have been negative...you would think they'd treat a faithful customer a little better! They are entirely too pricey for simple services--they will tell you once price and charge another! I was once charged $90 for an updo and the girl wasn't even a "master designer." EXTREMELY RUDE staff. Not sure what these people have stuck up their rear! Will not return.
Horrible experience with salon and threading! – Do not get threading here! I repeat, do not get your eye brows threaded at Seasons Salon and Spa. I had a horrible salon experience. Waited 40 minutes for Sherri (or whatever her name is) to come and get me to get threaded. Receptionists forgot I was waiting so I had to come up to them to see what is happening. Finally, I went in to get threaded and the lady who was doing it (they only have one lady who does threading) did not know how to properly thread. My whole face got threaded pretty much instead of just my eye brows. At one point she got my eye lash and my for forehead was very red. She is very slow so the experience was super painful and I have been threading my eye brows for a long time so I know what it should feel like. She was unable to get even 60% of the hairs so she plucked the rest. Horrible! And then the management is not much better. They do not reply to customer concerns, which is unacceptable. I will never return to this Salon for ANY SERVICE.
not impressed – I took a couple friends there - none of us having ever been there - for some open house night that I got notice of by email. It didn't say it was a fundraiser and required a minimum donation....that was a surprise getting there, but we were ok with donating to charity to try some services. The service was really bad....we were supposed to all have hair done at the same time and they overlooked one of us and kept us waiting and waiting. Then after our hair absolutely did not look better than when we came in. An overall disappointing experience and I planned not to go back.
...until one day I was in a pinch and scheduled there because it was close and they had availablity. I got Tom...LOVE Tom. Tom earned my business for him, but he was the only reason I went there period. I recently called and he is now gone and they wanted to schedule me with someone else...no thanks. Tom was an asset that will be missed!
Seasons Is A Great Salon – From someone who recently worked at Seasons but unfortunately had to move, I can tell who each person it is that wrote some of these negative reviews and they are terminated employees. It is not fair to lash out on the internet claiming false accusations just because you are upset about getting fired. You were fired for a reason and you should have the decent bone in your body you speak of to not want to try and prevent those who do work hard the ability to get a chance to gain new clients. Seasons is a beautiful facility and has very talented people. I will pray for those who harbor so much anger.
Can't believe this kind if stuff even exsist, – First off this establishment doesn't even derserve one star. This salon is the most unprofessional place I have ever seen or been in, and for those of you that liked it and had something nice to say about it you must have caught everyone there on a good day and the 2 National Awards..psh please...the power hungry owner..Pamela Nystrom must have had to sleep with someone to get those. She is the most money hungry, lying, cheating, stealing, conniving person I have ever seen. She has ran her own buisness so far in the ground she can barely pay her bills to keep it in buisness. She hires too many employees and can't afford to pay them, then she wants to let them go for no reason at all, I don't know why i guess she just didn't like them. Why do you think she has so many specials running all the time? Because shes desperate for the money. She makes the employees work events and not even pay them for their work and time they put in. And trades free services for plastic surgery. Ive just never seen someone so selfish that she has to walk all over everyone to get what she wants. I don't know who she thinks she is or why she thinks she better than anyone because hello your the one that doesn't even have a decent bone in her body. This salon is terrible and mostly because of the owner. but don't get me wrong about the staff, most of them don't even know what the hell their doing, but i will say there are a select few that are good and really deserve to work somewhere else that is better and where their hardwork would be appreciated.
Dangerous Massage Service: Avoid Seasons Salon – I recently booked a massage at Seasons with Christy. Felt perfectly safe with the salon since I have received pedicures there for years - even reffered family & friends.
I have been getting deep tissue massage regularly for the past 15 years, so I have a pretty good understanding of "good pain" and "bad pain." Christy worked on my neck for 20 minutes or so, and it was so painful (in a bad way) that I asked her to stop. It was clear she was not well trained in this area. I didn't know that I had actually been injured until an hour or so after the massage when my neck began to swell. For the next three days, I had to take ibuprofin, muscle relaxers, and apply regular ice to my neck to deal with the pain & lack of motion.
Reported the event to the salon owner & suggested the therapist needed additional training before continuing to perform massages. My comment was met with little to no response & a requested refund was not honored. I am filing a complaint with Kentucky's Massage Therapy Licensing Board. In the mean time, it turns out a friend of mine had an equally poor experience with this same therapist - she was texting on her cell phone with one hand during the service. My friends, family, and I will not be returning.
overpriced, overrated – DO NOT GO HERE FOR BLONDE HAIR COLOR. I had to have color correction after i got a terrible haircut and color here. they also book you for highlights and then force you into full hair color. WATCH OUT! I will NEVER return

World's Fittest Man, ultra endurance power athlete, fitness trainer, and creator of the popular San Diego based Boot Camp Gut Check Fitness, Joe Decker, 41, holds another prestigious title – Death Race Champion, 2010. Decker is a record breaker who makes achievement look easy, but don't be fooled. He has worked hard to get where he is today, and he's earned every bit of the success.
Decker grew up athletic but poor on a farm in Ohio. After his time with the 10th Mountain Division he moved to New Orleans, where drugs took over his life. He was regularly using cocaine and spending his weekends strung out and eventually became suicidal. He knew that there could be a life beyond what he had, but that he had to be the one to make the change. Decker returned to fitness, embracing what the human body was capable of, and he never looked back.

Devon's largest city has long been linked with England's commercial and maritime history. The Pilgrims sailed from here to the New World in the Mayflower in 1620. Although much of the city center was destroyed by air raids in World War II and has been rebuilt in an uninspiring style, there are worthwhile sights. A harbor tour is also a good way to see the city.

You're not allowed to run over pedestrians, and other rules of the road
September 18, 2012 - Liz Skoczylas
Let me preface this blog by saying that I, in no way shape or form, consider myself to be a good driver. I just do my best to follow the rules of the road.
In my profession, I spend a lot of time in my car, driving to interviews, meetings, events and appointments. I can also be found walking to many appointments, because the exercise is welcome after sitting at a desk most of the day, and paying for parking downtown annoys me.
Recently, New York state approved putting a crosswalk on Washington Street, near Chadakoin Park. Additionally, City Council approved putting a crosswalk on Allen Street near the Hospital's employee parking lot and Starflight.
Since I walk around downtown so much, I'll start with crosswalks.
According to dmv.ny.gov, "As a driver, you must use extra caution to avoid colliding with pedestrians. Regardless of the rules of the road or right-of-way, the law specifically requires you to exercise great care to avoid striking pedestrians."
This means... You aren't allowed to run over pedestrians. One time, as I was driving downtown, a very sweet young lady stepped off the curb, nowhere near a crosswalk or light, and crossed in front of my car while giving me a one-fingered wave. Although running her over was tempting, I did not, and I waited for her to cross.
Pedestrians have rules, too. They are required to obey pedestrian signals and traffic officers, use sidewalks when available and never stand in the road.
However, according to that first law I mentioned, where you aren't allowed to run them over, even if pedestrians don't follow their rules, you're still not supposed to hit them.
"Remember also that pedestrians legally crossing at intersections always have the right-of-way. Do not pull in front of or behind them or to "hurry them along" - wait until they are out of the intersection. Elderly and disabled pedestrians may require extra time to complete their crossings."
This is one of my favorites about crosswalks. The person using the crosswalk correctly should be on the opposite sidewalk before a vehicle crosses that crosswalk. I understand that people are busy and in a hurry, but coming within inches of a pedestrian just isn't safe.
Ok, moving on to driving a car. I used to text and drive all the time. However, back in June, I was lucky enough to attend an assembly at Clymer School about distracted driving. (Full article, here: http://www.post-journal.com/page/content.detail/id/605112/Plan-Of-Action.html)
For my job, I learn a lot every single day. And, honestly, being at that assembly really influenced me to put my cell phone down while I'm behind the wheel. According to a texting and driving campaign, "The average text takes a driver's eyes off the road for nearly five seconds. When traveling at 55mph, that's enough time to cover the length of a football field. The message being conveyed is that texting while driving isn't multitasking, it's essentially driving blind."
There are a ton of other facts and figures about being safe on the road. But, all sarcasm and joking aside, we need to start looking out for each other while we're on the road. Getting to your destination 3 minutes quicker just isn't worth the cost of someone else's life. Pedestrians shouldn't be risking their own lives by not following the laws.
The facts and figures are scary. The number of distracted driving and car/pedestrian incidents we have in the city is devastating. Individuals are the ones that will have to make these changes.

Minority leader wants GOP Senate caucus meetings open
NASHVILLE (AP) — The top Democrat in the state Senate is calling on Republicans to make the upper chamber of the General Assembly subject to open government laws, saying he wants to see more transparency in government.
Senate Minority Leader Jim Kyle of Memphis said he's just trying to create more transparency in government, and "level the playing field for ideas, where they can be judged on merit, not politics."
"That's what the Open Meetings law does," he said. "By amending the rules, their deliberations will be subject to public scrutiny, as should be the standard in state government."
The Legislature does not fall under the open government laws that apply to other government agencies in the state, and it can't bind future General Assemblies to its rules. But Kyle said the chamber could adopt the open meetings laws for the two-year session that began Tuesday.
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris of Collierville agreed to take up the issue at a rules committee meeting Wednesday. However, Senate Speaker Pro Tempore Bo Watson, R-Chattanooga, questioned Kyle's motives, calling it political.
"Kyle has been on the rules committee several years," Watson said. "He certainly was in the majority party for several years. I find his timing to be interesting. This has nothing to do with transparency, this is pure politics."
Kyle noted that under former Democratic Senate Speaker John Wilder, the majority caucus meetings were open to the public, but said that has not been the case under Republican control.
Republicans have supermajorities in both chambers of the state Legislature.
